Commentary

Right then, that is all we have from this game and it is England who have sealed the series with a 2-0 lead. However, we still have one game left in this series and Netherlands will hope that they end this historic series on a high. There are 10 World Cup Super League points up for grabs as well, so it is not a dead-rubber by any stretch of imagination. That game will start at 2.30 pm IST (9.00 am GMT) on 22nd of June. Our build-up though begins a lot earlier. So do join us for the same. Till then, goodbye and cheers!

Eoin Morgan, the skipper of England, says that he is delighted, the guys played really well, he is happy to see Brydon Carse step up with the ball and happy for Salt and Roy as well. Mentions that Netherlands did a very good job, the wicket did slow up and they used the conditions well. Adds that England are in a stronger position, their strength and depth keeps increasing, and they keep producing young talented players, even India does have a lot of options but it's about picking the right players. He wishes Pieter Seelaar a happy retirement life and wishes him luck for his future.

Scott Edwards, the skipper of Netherlands, says that there were plenty of positives for them in this game and they were much better with the ball. Tells that England are a class unit and the opening partnership cost them the game. Mentions that it was a good opportunity to get 260 on the board but feels that they were not that far away from the mark. Says that they will try to come out with better plans and execution in the next game.

Jason Roy is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for this brilliant knock of 73 from 60 balls! He says that it is a huge honour to receive his 100th ODI cap, and he is extremely grateful. Adds that the Dutch did bowl well and put some pressure but they, managed to get over the line. On his partnership with Salt, says that it was fun batting with him, Salt is a lovely fellow and he whacks it well. Mentions that English cricket is in a very healthy state.

Stay tuned for the presentation...

Earlier in the day, after rain forced a delayed start to the proceedings, Netherlands lost early wickets with the bat. However, their skipper for this game, Edwards, stood tall and build some useful partnerships with Bas de Leede and then Teja Nidamanuru. He scored a valiant 78 and with useful contributions from a few others, Netherlands got to a decent total. However, against England one needs an above-par score more often than not and it was the case again in this game as England chased down the target with 6 wickets in hand and 29 balls to spare. A lot of credit for that should also go to the English bowlers, Willey was impressive yet again along with Rashid as both got two wickets in their kitty while young Brydon Carse also impressed with his pace and got one wicket to his name. Overall, a clinical performance from a strong English side and they would be looking to wrap up this series with another win in the final match.

Netherlands needed a good start with the ball to make a match out of this one but unfortunately, their bowlers failed to get the breakthrough early, and they were unable to keep the lid on the run flow as well. However, it was the spin duo of Aryan Dutt and debutant Tim Pringle that brought them back in the game. Aryan Dutt got both the openers and then Tom Cooper and Tim Pringle chipped in with a wicket apiece to bring some smiles back in the Netherlands camp. However, they could not get any further breakthrough but overall it has been a much better bowling performance from Netherlands in this game.

Coming to the chase, England were always the more fancied team at the halfway mark despite a decent total on board from Netherlands. Roy who missed out in the first game started off in his usual positive way and with Salt continuing from where he left off in the last game, Netherlands leaked way too many runs at the start and the duo stitched together a century stand at a brisk pace. However, Roy departed after scoring a quickfire 73 and after a brief partnership with Malan for the second wicket, Salt too missed out on a century, departing on 77. The stage was set for Morgan to get some confidence back with a good unbeaten innings but the English skipper departed for yet another duck and Livingstone also followed soon. However, despite those three wickets in quick succession, England were always on track to win this one with plenty of quality still in their ranks. Moeen Ali joined Malan and ensured that there are no further hiccups as England chased down the target quite easily in the end.

England takes an unassailable lead of 2-0 in this three-match ODI series! Yet another convincing performance from the World Champions and they have also bagged 10 more World Cup Super League points on the way. For the Dutch, this is a historic series and a great learning curve with their players getting a chance to lock horns with the best in the business in front of their home crowd. They were much better in all departments in this game compared to the last one and would be looking to improve further in the final game of this series.

Commentary

We are back for the chase. The players have made their way out to the middle. Jason Roy and Philip Salt will open the batting for England. Logan van Beek will begin the proceedings with the ball. Let's go!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then! England will be sensing another victory here! But we cannot count Netherlands out of this one just yet. An intriguing chase coming up. Can Netherlands defend this one? We will find out. Stay tuned for the second essay.

After electing to bat first, the Dutch were put under immense pressure early on. They lost top-order within a blink of an eye. But post that, the stand-in skipper, Scott Edwards and Bas de Leede put together 61 runs and did some damage repair. Bas de Leede perished after a fine start. Teja Nidamanuru walked in with some positive intent and Netherlands put up another good stand then. A much more aggressive one this time. However, Teja Nidamanuru also departed and failed to convert his start. Scott Edwards led from the front and scored a sublime 78. Logan van Beek and Shane Snater then played a few lusty blows in the end and guided Netherlands over the 230-mark. They might feel they feel short of around 30 runs here. It's onto the bowlers now. Netherlands will need something special to defend this target.

The visitors had the perfect start with the ball. They grabbed three wickets in quick succession and put Netherlands under the pump straightaway. They dominated the first Powerplay of the innings but lost their way a bit in the middle. They did not leak as many runs but failed to capitalize on the start they had got. A couple of partnerships in the middle phase swung the momentum towards Netherlands only for a bit. England made sure they came back stronger and took the wickets at the right time and did not let the game slip away from them. David Willey and Adil Rashid grabbed two wickets each, while Liam Livingstone and Brydon Carse took a wicket apiece. England have an opportunity here to seal the series.

End of an entertaining first half of the game! England will be the happier side of the two going into this break. A good finish though for Netherlands. They scored 43 runs in the last 4 overs and have put a respectable total on the board. Still, a tough task for them, considering the dangerous batting lineup England possesses.

Commentary

We are back for the chase. The players have made their way out to the middle. Jason Roy and Philip Salt will open the batting for England. Logan van Beek will begin the proceedings with the ball. Let's go!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then! England will be sensing another victory here! But we cannot count Netherlands out of this one just yet. An intriguing chase coming up. Can Netherlands defend this one? We will find out. Stay tuned for the second essay.

After electing to bat first, the Dutch were put under immense pressure early on. They lost top-order within a blink of an eye. But post that, the stand-in skipper, Scott Edwards and Bas de Leede put together 61 runs and did some damage repair. Bas de Leede perished after a fine start. Teja Nidamanuru walked in with some positive intent and Netherlands put up another good stand then. A much more aggressive one this time. However, Teja Nidamanuru also departed and failed to convert his start. Scott Edwards led from the front and scored a sublime 78. Logan van Beek and Shane Snater then played a few lusty blows in the end and guided Netherlands over the 230-mark. They might feel they feel short of around 30 runs here. It's onto the bowlers now. Netherlands will need something special to defend this target.

The visitors had the perfect start with the ball. They grabbed three wickets in quick succession and put Netherlands under the pump straightaway. They dominated the first Powerplay of the innings but lost their way a bit in the middle. They did not leak as many runs but failed to capitalize on the start they had got. A couple of partnerships in the middle phase swung the momentum towards Netherlands only for a bit. England made sure they came back stronger and took the wickets at the right time and did not let the game slip away from them. David Willey and Adil Rashid grabbed two wickets each, while Liam Livingstone and Brydon Carse took a wicket apiece. England have an opportunity here to seal the series.

End of an entertaining first half of the game! England will be the happier side of the two going into this break. A good finish though for Netherlands. They scored 43 runs in the last 4 overs and have put a respectable total on the board. Still, a tough task for them, considering the dangerous batting lineup England possesses.

Dominic Cork is down for the pitch report. He says that the pitch is exactly the same as the last game and it is not going to change. Tells that there might be some spin later on but overall a very good batting surface. The only difference will be the change in the direction of the wind.

Eoin Morgan the captain of England says that they are happy to chase. Mentions that it is a special day for Jason Roy and Jos Buttler as their playing their 100th and 150th ODI game respectively, and they have been an integral part of the team, outstanding achievement. Adds that the message is that they should maintain their level of intensity, and they are never chasing figures or records. Informs that they have one change, Sam Curran misses out and Brydon Carse comes in.

Scott Edwards the skipper of Netherlands says that they will bat first. Tells that they are expecting the surface to slow up and it might help spinners later. Mentions that he is excited to get an opportunity to lead the side but is disappointed that Pieter Seelaar will miss this game. Adds that they have their plans ready for this game and are looking to execute them well. Informs that they have made three changes to their side.

England (Playing XI) - Jason Roy, Philip Salt, Dawid Malan, Eoin Morgan (C), Jos Buttler (WK), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, David Willey, Brydon Carse (In for Sam Curran), Adil Rashid, Reece Topley.

Netherlands (Playing XI) - Vikramjit Singh, Max O'Dowd, Teja Nidamanuru (In for Musa Ahmad), Tom Cooper, Bas de Leede, Scott Edwards (C/WK), Logan van Beek, Tim Pringle (In for Pieter Seelaar), Shane Snater, Aryan Dutt, Vivian Kingma (In for Philippe Boissevain).

TOSS -  Netherlands have won the toss and they have elected to BAT first.
